"Hehe, I heard that Tang Dong invested more than one billion yuan in UC, is he planning to develop into the Internet industry?"

At the premiere scene, there was still a while before the premiere ceremony, and several CEOs got together to chat, and Wang Zhongjun asked Tang An about investing in UC again.

Although only two days have passed, UC is not a listed company, but UC is the leader of the mobile browser industry after all, with a valuation of nearly 8 billion, and Tang An has also spent more than one billion in cash, so it is difficult to hide it.

"Yes, after all, UC has the highest market share in mobile browsers, and it is very useful whether it is used for promotion or publicity. ”

Tang An does not hide it, and it is not a trade secret.

Yu Dong sighed, "Tang Dong is really generous, these billions are enough to make 10 blockbusters." ”

These film and television companies have to save some money if they finally go public and raise hundreds of millions of dollars, and they have to spend money on film and television production, channel development, and cinema construction.

But Tang An is good, he spent more than 1.5 billion yuan to buy shares of a mobile phone browser, and they can raise so much at most in the last market.

At the same time, I am also curious, so much money is not invested in theaters and film and television production, but I want to break through the Internet.

It's not that there is no possibility, the film and television industry is too small, but the Internet industry is different, although after ten years of rapid development, there is still a lot of potential, and the volume of the two is not the same level.

If Tang Anzhen shifted his focus to the Internet, they would be relieved.

It's a pity that Tang An didn't have this idea at all, he shook his head and said.

"That's not it, I'm just a filmmaker, and the Internet industry can't play it, UC just provides users for the company's other businesses, after all, most smartphones are now equipped with mobile browsers, if you can drain all this part of the audience to Tuxing, Han and Tang literature, it will be a big explosion. ”

Not only Xiaomi's channel, Tang An also asked Wu Wen and Zhou You to talk about cooperation with Yu Yongfu, and the two key words of UC homepage and video will be directly connected to Chinese and Tuyun video on the cloud in the future.

"Indeed, if the drainage is successful, it will not be a problem for Tuxing to surpass Youku. ”

"Then Tang Dong has got a user group that is comparable to QQ, Baidu, Alipay, and Weibo, which is amazing. ”

Tang An smiled and shook his head, "This can't be compared, but it should be okay to be in the second echelon, it depends on whether it can be transformed." ”

In terms of numbers, UC Browser has no fewer users than others, but it can't be compared at all.

QQ, Alipay, and Weibo are currently irreplaceable, and they all have their own functions, but UC Browser is not used and there are other browsers, and there is no difference in using them, and they can't keep people.

Although Baidui is the same, you can also use 360 and Sogou, but the user viscosity of Baidu is much higher than that of UC browser.

And there is also a post bar, after the death of Kuaibo, Baidu Netdisk and Xunlei have become the two largest circulation channels for small movies.

Later, Baidu has gradually fallen behind in BAT, and its market value has fallen again and again, but as long as the Baidu search engine is still there, Baidu is still one of the three giants!

chatted for a while, and talked about everything, but I didn't talk about these movies for the Chinese New Year.

It wasn't until six o'clock that the premiere officially began.

An hour earlier than the average premiere, Huayi did a lot of programs, and basically all of its talented artists came to the stage.

Singing and dancing for more than half an hour passed before entering the main theme.

On stage, Wang Zhongjun began to brag, saying that nearly 10,000 tickets were sold out in less than two minutes for the premiere on the online ticketing platform.

Actually, it's pretty much the same, it's just a little exaggerated.

The online ticketing platform has been around for a few years, but it has been tepid, and later it is still Maoyan, Micro Ticket, Taopiaopiao, and Nuomi.com.

However, soon Nuomi.com also fell behind like Guevara, Douban, and Time, forming a three-legged situation.

This is also the only time that the Big Three did not have Baidu's participation, and Maoyan was acquired by Guangxian at that time.

But Guangxian couldn't afford to burn that money, so Ah Li directly burned one billion yuan for Taopiao, forcing Maoyan and Weipiao to merge and acquisition.

Tengxun fights, but Guangxian can't fight.

If the micro ticket is not merged with Maoyan, the Maoyan can only be merged with Taopiao.

What's more, at that time, Ah Li was still the second largest shareholder of Guangxian, once Maoyan and Taopiao were merged, Tengxun would lose completely, and Ma Huateng had no choice but to inject micro-bills into Maoyan.

A big reason for the exit of Nuomi.com is the lack of support for film projects, and the era of micro-shadows is similar, and there are problems with project selection and publicity.

Otherwise, it is not the micro-ticket that is injected into the cat's eye, but the cat's eye that is merged into the micro-ticket.

The new Maoyan Weiying company Guangxian is still the largest shareholder, and Tengxun is only the second largest shareholder, but there is another company merged at that time, and the legal person is the COO of Tengxun Group, plus this part of the shares, Tengxun is 3% more than Guangxian.

Maoyan was still a Meituan movie at this time, and it was a service in Meituan.com, and Meituan also rejected Hantang's financing last year, so Tang An invested in Nuomi.com and Ele.me.

In comparison, Renren, the parent company of Nuomi.com, has just been devastated, and is preparing to give up group buying, as well as the video website business of 56.com, which is better to win.

And two months, enough to do a lot of things, next year the Weiying era will also be established, there are QQ and Niantao tickets online, and it also relies on Alipay's traffic.

Grab the time, grab the market!

There is no problem with the team and operation of Nuomi.com, originally until the first quarter of 16, Nuomi.com is still the second largest ticketing platform in the market, only 2% lower than Maoyan, and more than Taopiao and Weipiaoer.

It's just that Baidu doesn't play anymore, and he slowly falls behind.

As for building a ticketing platform yourself... It's so easy to start from scratch.

There are no users, no team, no platform access traffic, and it's useless to make it.

Which ticketing platform itself does not have a platform with enough traffic, Time and Douban are professional movie forums, and Maoyan and Nuomi have the largest life service websites in the country.

Tengxun and Ahri just have traffic!

It's better to buy it directly than to do it yourself!

When Tang An was thinking about the ticketing platform, Wang Changtian next to him said casually, "Tang Dong, did you say that this online ticket purchase is a head, now young people are shopping online, buying train tickets online, and WeChat has also made an online order, so you don't have to go out to eat in the future." ”

Tang An didn't expect Wang Changtian to have such a forward-looking vision, and now he has taken a fancy to the potential of the ticketing platform.

But it's not surprising to think about it, and later several major film and television giants only Guangxian set foot in the ticketing platform to acquire Maoyan in one fell swoop.

People who can be big are not so simple, Wang Changtian is a ticketing platform, and Wang Zhongjun later united several companies to form Huaying World Distribution Company to deal with the competition in the film distribution industry from Ahli, Tengxun, Wuzhou Distribution and Sihai Distribution.

Tang An smiled and said, "Does Chairman Wang have this idea, at present, the online ticket purchase business accounts for more than 20%, which is not a small number, but it will take some time to surpass the offline ticket purchase business." ”

Wang Changtian also smiled, "The proportion of more than 20% is not small, if you can monopolize it, you can even control the film schedule of the theater." ”

Tang An said, "The cinema chain is not so easy to handle, it's not easy." ”

Wang Changtian is really bold and wants to threaten the theater chain.

Later, he mastered Maoyan did this, relying on the country's No. 1 market share and the theater chain, wanting to affect the theater's film schedule, but the theater line was uncompromising, and Wang Changtian didn't have a problem.

After a few idle words about the online ticketing platform and the upcoming launch of the special funding office, I refocused my attention on the stage.

Feng Xiaogang was still bragging there, and he had been bragging for more than half an hour.

Some viewers asked him why he didn't choose to shoot in 3D for such a shocking movie.

Feng Xiaogang replied, "3D movies have a strong sense of technology, but they are not suitable for a heavy historical theme like "1942". It's like going to the hospital to donate blood but the blood type is wrong, resulting in rejection, which will harm the movie, and painting a tiger will not become an anti-dog, and I will not do those things that make 3D in order to increase the ticket price. ”

Well, it is worthy of Feng Cannon, who secretly belittled a wave of 3D movies, saying that people are just trying to raise ticket prices.

Aren't the movies that are coming out now and next being "Life of Pi" and "The Mystery of Longling".

By the way, there is also "Zodiac", which is also 3D, Tang An glanced at Cheng Long, who was separated by several positions in the same row, his face was not abnormal, and he was still smiling.

The next thing is how difficult it is to shoot the movie, in order to restore the real scene, where and where to shoot on Minguo Street, it took more than two years of hard filming and so on.

I also want to praise the actors, starting with the screenwriter, saying that I wanted to shoot this theme many years ago.

And then how well the actor fits the character and how well he acts, Feng Xiaogang also said that when he wanted to film this drama 20 years ago, Xu Man was the best choice for Huazhi.

collapsed one by one, and the grinding movie is finally about to begin.

This movie is called one of Feng Xiaogang's best movies by some people.

In some ways, this is true.

The opening scene is Chang Kaishen's wartime New Year's speech, in which words such as human civilization resound, and the plot behind it is really interesting.

The young owner used grain as bait, and wanted to lure Xu Wan, who came to borrow grain, but Xu Wan resolutely refused.

But later, for the sake of the child, she took the initiative to sleep with the leash for two biscuits, although it was only a mother's greatness, but it also made people's hearts dull.

The farmer and the hungry people were in a mess, but the goal was the same, to grab the grain, and the young proprietors who blocked it were killed by a fork.

Under the threat of starvation, the countryside is all shit.

Miss landlord saves her own food to feed the cat, how loving, how kind, this paragraph should be compared with the young lady who calmly eats cat meat, telling us that under the premise that human rights are not guaranteed, loving animals is dog shit.

The cat killed, tore the book and cooked cat soup, telling us that in the face of hunger, knowledge is shit.

Judge Fan Wei was robbed because of the carriage, and the big-headed soldiers argued with reason, how similar to the scene that happened to Chairman Liu back then, sometimes the law is shit.

Time Magazine reporter's complaint: Before he went to southern Henan, it was easy to meet senior government officials, but after he went to Henan, people avoided him like a plague. Doesn't he know that this is ***? What is more terrible than the plague is the truth.

I finally arrived at Luoyang, and was told that Luoyang is not a disaster area and cannot enjoy the treatment of disaster victims, which is called asking to be a disaster victim and cannot get it.

The boss of the Qinglou picks people, and everyone rushes to sign up, in order to survive, they can't get it by being a prostitute.

... It's all a similar plot, real enough to show the desperate and dark side.

As for warmth, there is indeed in the subtleties, but there is too little and there is no hope.

The whole film is full of blood, cruelty, and cruelty, which more realistically reflects the situation of ordinary people in addition to Chang Kaishen and the conquest of the name of the country in that era.

The bombardment and the last bayonet interjection of the Japanese were bloody and cruel.

The inaction of the conquest of the name of the country should even be called perverse and cruel. Under this kind of external suppression, human nature has also become cruel.

This is the manifestation of the Great Famine.

Like the performance of the earthquake in "Tangshan Earthquake", this is very good.

But this kind of disaster movie must have warmth and give a glimmer of light to the desperate plot.

Feng Xiaogang didn't do this, no one had a good ending, only the chef starring Fan Wei was able to start and finish well, and finally ate a bite of the fish fillet on the tip of the knife, and said a spicy word, representing the choice of ordinary people like them.

The rhythm is also a little unclear, and Chang Kaishen's secondary line is a bit noisy.

A few years ago, "Tangshan Earthquake" was criticized by film critics for being too sensational, but this time Feng Xiaogang listened to one and didn't play sensationalism at all.

Disaster movies want to sell at the box office, not sensational.

Feng Xiaogang, who pursues art, is going to be pitted again this time!

However, after the movie was screened, the applause in the entire stadium was no less than that of "Tangshan Earthquake", Feng Xiaogang took the stage to thank the audience, and shouted out the goal of 1 billion box office!

When he left the show, Tang An was also asked by reporters about his views on the movie and the box office expectations.

After thinking about it, Tang An said his thoughts, "Director Feng has restored the background of that era very well, and the performance of all social strata in the face of the Great Famine is also very good, I couldn't help but get wet just now, which is unimaginable for people of our generation." ”

"However, the movie is too tragic, and whether the audience can accept it is a question, and I think the final box office will be around 500 million. ”

500 million is still overestimated, and 400 million is good.

Ordinary commercial directors may not comment on Feng Xiaogang's movies at will, and they are all compliments.

But Tang An said bluntly, powerful people have no scruples!
